Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership

The Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership (DDNP) works with the 12 neighborhoods and nine schools closest to campus to improve quality of life for residents, with a focus on affordable homeownership, educational achievement, youth outreach, neighborhood safety, and quality health care.

Since its creation in 1996, the DDNP has worked alongside community members on a wide range of neighborhood revitalization priorities. This collaboration is driven by input drawn from neighborhood associations, local resident planning conversations, Durham city and county officials, and local school teachers and staff.
